CHAPTKK III. Few people could understand Danvers Vane. He was one of those strange characters one occasionally meets with in society, whose life has been a series of paradoxes, At Cambridge, Vane had been a hard reader.

THE WINDSOR ALBION C.C. On Monday evening a meeting of those interested in the formation of a local cricket club was held at the Oddfellows' Hall, the attendance being limited to about a dozen. Mr. J. Chandler was voted to the chair, and explained the object of the meeting, Mr. C. Davies stated that during the past season the Hawkesbury Cricket Club had played twelve matches, six of which they won, and six they lost. The treasurer had about 30s in hand, and the club was in debt to the extent of £5. Mr. A. Hannabus said that there was some objection to the club being agaia called the Hawkesbury Cricket Club. Players in the country thought that the club had no right to the name, inasmuch as it was toot representative of the dis trict. Mr. E. Mellish expressed a similar opinion, and thought the nanie should be changed. The Country members had withdrawn from the Hawkesbury C.C., and it had not prospered for that reason. After .some furthtir discussion, Mr. O. Fitzpatrick proposed and Mr...

poferBf. AN EVENING PICTURE. 'Twas a calm summer eve, and the twilight was shining O'er tin; green grassy glade far away in the glen And ihe moon just peeped out from a soft silver / lining To casl its refulgence over hill-top and fen. Then the stars, like bright jewels, their radiance were flashing Across the great plain, from theeast to the west Ancl the river close by into billows was dashing Its white-crested waves racing madly abreast. Out in the dark wood the shadows were falling The wind through the trees sung its song of despair, And the curlew, thus roused from its slumber, was calling In cries loud and troubled, which rout &amp;lt;he calm air. Save this, thi? eve's silence was left quite unbroken Till night'ssable curiain fell over the scene, And thi: darkness which followed the light was a token Of the death of a da)' which was not, but had been. 'Tis sweet in the forest's dim shadows to wander Not nlonc, hut with one whom you love by your side And upon the bright fut...

A BLACKGUARDLY BRUISER. An American writer says In Teading the account of Johp L. Sullivan's trip from Liverpool to New York, which tells us of his insulting all the passengers? with whom lie came in contact, as well as the stewards and servants and employees, there is a feeling of regret that there was not some plucky Milwaukee man, or Western man, with a revolver in his hip pocket on board. The brute, Sullivan, found that a minister or missionary re turning from Africa, with his wife and children, occupied an adjoining state room, and when the children cried the great coward frightened the minister and his frail wife, and nearly scared the children into fits by threatening them with violence if they did not keep still. One cannot help pitying the poor minister's wife as she put in the whole trip, sleepless and sick, expecting every minute her babies would be destroyed by a worse heathen than she had encountered in Africa. The officers of the boat should have put the great coward i...
